The CogAT (Cognitive Abilities Test) is a test that measures a student's academic-related abilities. It is divided into three sections called batteries. The batteries of the test are: Verbal battery, Non-verbal battery, and Quantitative battery.

Each battery in its own has three different sub-tests. The verbal battery has as sub-tests: Picture/Verbal Analogies, Sentence Completion, and Picture/Verbal Classification. For the primary levels of the Cogat, the tests relies more on images than written instructions. This is due to the fact that at an early age, children are still learning how to read, so the test focuses more on an intuitive approach to a problem. The quantitative battery has as sub-tests: Number Analogies, Number Series, and Number Puzzles. Finally, the non-verbal battery has as sub-tests: Figure Matrices, Figure Classification, and Paper Folding.

There is also a new test called the CogAT Screening Form which consists of the first sub-test of each battery. TestPrep-Online offers practice packs for both the CogAT and CogAT Screening Form.

Remember that some questions may have more than one way to be solved. We suggest a reasoning that we believe is more intuitive and easy to learn, but others may be correct to, and you should feel comfortable with the way you solve the question. Moreover, simulating the test's condition when approaching a full-length simulation is important to get a feeling of how much time you have, and how much time you need to answer each question.

Tips for the Day of the Test

Start preparing in advance. The best way to study for a test is by doing so with a comfortable time frame. Instead of trying to learn as much as possible in just a few days, try instead two weeks to prepare by going over the material, reading the questions, learning from each explanation and then revisiting the tests.

Make sure you get a good night's sleep, that you are well rested and have eaten properly before the test.

Relax. The CogAT is a test like many others, and you have been preparing for some time. After you have seen the questions in our practice pack, you know that nothing will be unexpected in the test. You have already learned how to solve many similar questions.

Approach each question separately. Each question requires concentration but also, a different skill. Make sure that before you start another question in the exam, that you have finished the previous one and recorded your answer.

Read each question carefully, make sure not to miss any key words. Some questions may ask about the answer choice that does NOT fulfill a criteria and missing this can affect your score.
